Fake Holocaust Survivors: Rubin Sztajer

Getting back to my series of articles looking at the stories of so-called ‘Holocaust Survivors’ we have the case of Rubin Sztajer. Who related his story recently to a bunch of High Schoolers in Herndon, Virginia.

To wit:

‘SZTAJER spoke about his early years. "Christian children would throw stones that hit our faces," he said. He recounted that anyone Jewish over twelve had to wear the Star of David, and his family was forced to move to the Klobuck Ghetto when he was 14. The biggest problem he explained was there were no businesses, no jobs there. The family had to scavenge for food on a daily basis.

"We could not buy anything. … My childhood disappeared ... In the summertime, we used to smuggle out at night; steal the farmers’ food," said Sztajer.

Sztajer spoke about April 12, 1941, the roundup of Jews for slave labor and extermination. He shared when his father and older siblings, Gussie and Sam left home to hide; the Nazis entered his home searching for them. Not wanting to go back empty-handed, they grabbed him by the arm. Sztajer was 16. "They pulled me away from my mother crying."

Sztajer recalled his years at Markstadt, a forced slave labor camp. “We marched. We moved mountains of bodies. ... We had no coats, hats ...Then we’d march back. It was worse than Hell. Working to death; starving to death." He told how he eventually changed camps to Bergen-Belsen. “They were the worst. I don’t want to call them people. They were animals. Every day it got worse as the war was coming to an end… our job was to tie up the dead people."’ (1)

Now there aren’t tonnes of issues with Sztajer’s tale per se, but there are other things like his claim that on 12th April 1941 he saw ‘the roundup of Jews for slave labour and extermination’ which is complete nonsense given that the so-called ‘Holocaust’ was only conceived of according to the official narrative on 20th January 1942 at the Wannsee Conference on the outskirts of Berlin. Clearly Sztajer is adding the ‘slave labour’ and ‘extermination’ details with hindsight and doesn’t appear to have a clue that he is directly contradicting the official narrative with his story.

I also have to say I am extremely sceptical of his claims that:

‘We moved mountains of bodies. ... We had no coats, hats ...Then we’d march back. It was worse than Hell. Working to death; starving to death.’

If Sztajer had really done this level of heavy manual labour day in, day out with no coat or hat while starving for years on end. Then he’d have died due to hypothermia, exposure, exhaustion and/or starvation.

That’s the simple truth of Sztajer’s claims: he probably was in the camps he claims he was, but his testimony is so polluted by post-war nonsense, little knowledge of (or care about) timelines and near-impossible claims of physical endurance on his part.

Scratch another so-called ‘Holocaust Survivor’.
